What Are the Chances You Will Have a White Christmas?

NCDC can help answer that age-old question. This year the Center
updated a map that shows the climatological probabilities of a white
Christmas across the Nation. The Probability of a White Christmas map,
now based on the most recent 1981–2010 Climate Normals, shows the
climatological probability (in percent) that a snow depth of at least 1
inch will be observed on December 25. The highest probabilities are in
northern and mountainous areas of the country.

The actual conditions this year may vary widely from these
probabilities because the weather patterns present will determine the
snow on the ground or snowfall on Christmas day. These probabilities are
useful as a guide only to show where snow on the ground is more likely.

My state shows 10- greater than 90%. Yeah that looks typical lol. In my area of the state it's closer to 25-40% but we haven't had a white Christmas for the past 4 or 5 years so we don't even expect it anymore.
